Meanwhile, the dense, impassable vegetation and strong winds blowing in the area are hampering the work of the firefighting forces.
It should be noted that substantial ground firefighting forces from the Forestry Department and the Fire Department are on site and are working to extinguish the fire, while four firefighting aircraft from the Republic of Cyprus have also been deployed to battle the flames.
